It's definitely a work in progress, but seems to be a good one. I prefer its comment nesting and some other UI aspects to Lemmy (it's a little more Apollo-like) but my primary reason for switching is distrust of Lemmy's developers. Lemmy is basically developed by two people, and both seem to be westerners fetishizing Mao Zedong Thought – literally to the point of writing apologetics for the Uyghur genocide. The instance they maintain together is saturated with CCP propaganda, and they welcome it (I asked). If I'm going to move from Reddit, it's not going to be into the arms of someone who thinks authoritarianism is way cool. They're clearly skilled engineers, but I can't trust or support them, and using any instance of Lemmy means I'd have to do both.
Back to kbin: I've not tried following anything on PeerTube, but I'm able to follow Mastodon users (and vice versa). And yep, "magazines" are subreddits. There's also a "microblog" tab in each magazine that seems to pull in relevant posts from other fediverse platforms – Mastodon etc. It's not very well explained yet, but the developer said it's based on hashtags similar to the magazine name.
It seems to federate well with lemmy instances, so I'm able to dip into conversations like this one while keeping my distance from lemmy's dev team.
Reddit refugee myself. I've not seen anyone mention Kbin there yet (it was someone on a lemmy instance that suggested it to me) so I'm not sure it'll experience the same influx.
